Italian restaurant, speakeasy bar, and rooftop lounge
"A fresh opening in town recently came from the team behind Wm. Mulherin’s Sons, a Fishtown spot for pasta and wood-fired fare. The Quoin, a hotel and restaurant in a lovingly renovated downtown brownstone, specializes in the same delicious Italian cuisine as its Philly sibling. Before dinner, visit Simmer Down, the glowy speakeasy-style bar downstairs, for a well-made cocktail; after dinner, cap the night upstairs at Wilmington’s only rooftop bar." - Ernest Owens
"The Quoin is a hotel in a historic bank, with a cozy cocktail bar in the basement and an airy, modern restaurant on the main floor. It’s classic New American, meaning it serves some combination of seasonal vegetables, pastas made in-house, and mostly European-leaning entrees that were kissed by a wood fire grill. They serve lunch and dinner all week, plus brunch on the weekend, but they’re busiest at dinner, when people pack it in to eat autumn salads with apple and endive, crispy octopus with chickpea and celery, and artichoke lasagna. It’s a great spot for a birthday dinner or date night, especially if you want to eat some pasta." - maddy sweitzer lamme

"Wilmington, Delaware flies under the radar for a number of reasons, but boutique-hotel aficionados have at least one reason to keep it on the list: the Quoin, a Romanesque bank building in the historic downtown center, now renovated into a warm, livable, and richly detailed boutique hotel." - MICHELIN Guide
"When The Quoin Hotel opened in September, Wilmington’s first boutique hotel added three new dining and drinking destinations."
